I was looking through SI.com and checking out some of the big sports stories from the day and noticed an interesting link at the bottom of one of the articles I read. Whoever handles to web content for Sports Illustrated must have taken today off. Check out the red box and story it's highlighting.

Yep! Breaking news! Phil Jackson has signed a three year deal with the Lakers. Oh wait, nevermind. Phil Jackson actually overplayed his hand and got the rug pulled out from under him by the Lakers, which he probably deserved, and he will not be coaching the Lakers. It's unfortunate that Sports Illustrated was more concerned about getting the scoop for a story instead of getting their facts straight before publishing a story. And of course, here's the page that displays when I clicked on the link for that story:

I love it. It's like Sports Illustrated is looking around saying, "Who wrote that? We didn't write that." Nicely done. Very ESPN-esque of you SI.
